(BQ) Part 2 book "Sustainability in logistics and supply chain management" has contents: Sustainable distribution in the consumer goods supply chain; environmental sustainability standards in transport alliances; assessing the diffusion of a city logistics system based on low emission vehicles. | Reverse Channel Design: Profitability vs. Environmental Benefits Lan Wang, Gangshu Cai, Andy Tsay and Asoo Vakharia Environmental issues are a growing priority in supply chain management, which has heightened the interest in remanufacturing. A key attribute of a remanufacturing strategy is the division of labor in the reverse channel, especially whether the remanufacturing should be performed in-house or outsourced to a third party. We investigate this decision for a retailer who accepts returns of a remanufacturable product. Our formulation considers the relative cost-effectiveness of the two approaches, uncertainty in the input quality of the collected/returned used products, consumer willingness-to-pay for remanufactured product, and the extent to which the remanufactured product cannibalizes demand for new product. Our analysis predicts the retailer's propensity to remanufacture, which provides a metric of the environmental impact of each strategy. Keywords: Reverse Channel Design, Remanufacturing, Outsourcing, Environmental Impact 154 1 Lan Wang, Gangshu Cai, Andy Tsay and Asoo Vakharia Introduction Sustainability initiatives are at the forefront of many firms’ agendas today. Consumers and government mandates are both calling for environmentfriendly business practices. Remanufacturing is one approach to sustainability, with benefits that include the diversion of discarded products from landfills, reduced virgin raw material usage, and energy consumption lower than in original manufacturing (. EPA 1997). It is perceived as an environment-friendly end-of-use management option for many product categories (Örsdemir, et al 2014). For example, remanufacturing in the auto industry saves over 80% of the energy and raw material required to manufacture a new part, and keeps used parts (“cores") out of landfills. Gutowski, et al (2011) find that remanufacturing consumes less energy than does manufacturing of new products, and evidence suggests that .
